Working out of our headquarters in Aarhus, you will join 6 other regional account managers in the Food team.As our customer portfolio is well-established, you focus on retaining and developing long-term customer relationships. Collaborating closely with our technical and application teams, you deliver high-quality customer service, informing your customers about new products and services and passing on information to appropriate sales representatives when customers have additional service needs. Specifically, your tasks include:

Driving sales expansion by introducing new products/services to customers and organising visits to current and potential customers in the UK (app. 60 days of travel per year)

Experienced B2B account manager with technical insightTo succeed in this role, you need technical understanding and commercial insight. You are ready to advise your customers on the AFI product portfolio because you hold a degree in a technical subject combined with commercial experience – or vice versa.
